Just a nitpick: They don’t get reparented to init regardless of whether you call wait or not, so long as the parent process exists . They’ll be in a zombie state waiting to be reaped via a parent call to wait. Only if the parent dies/

Can someone help me find this amazing site that was once featured on HN that had basically a cut-out anatomical view of the human mouth and throat and then you could pick any sound to see how the body forms it with an animation in-sync with

No one is mad merely because there is a capped free service and an unlimited paid service offering. The ire is because of the rug pull. (I presume) you know that. It’s predatory behavior to build an entire ecosystem around your free offer

Note that this doesn’t satisfy the government’s original request, which was for worldwide backdoor access into E2E-encrypted cloud accounts. But I have a more pertinent question: how can you “pull” E2E encryption without data loss? What h

Because they express numbers as rational times a real, so the real in all those cases would be one. When it’s one, you do rational math as normal without involving reals.

Not necessarily. Modern Windows lets you create a new mixer/mediasource separate from the app, so you can have Your regular app sounds then separate media(or notification) sounds.

I agrée with this and have ripped claims about the pollution here on HN before, but there is SOME pollution, and it is necessarily worse for EVs vs ICE for the reasons above.

Well, don't disable the warnings themselves but rather disable displaying them. They should of course still be logged.

Every study I've seen concurs that EVs chew through tires faster than their equivalent ICE vehicle, and generate more tire particulate matter accordingly. The reasons (torque and weight) are unambiguously greater in an equivalent EV vs

This is cute but unnecessary - Unicode includes a massive range called PUA: the private use area. The codes in this range aren’t mapped to anything (and won’t be mapped to anything) and are for internal/custom use, not to be passed to

They’re non-deterministic and YMMV by design. No one can answer that question. It might save you a hundred million with some genius optimization it lucked into or, more likely, it’ll give you a seemingly equivalent query that actually retur

Thanks for sharing that; now I have something to add to my list of things to play with when I get a chance!

In a similar vein: the origin of nicknames Junior, Chip, Trip, and Skip: When the father and the son carry the same first name, the son can be nicknamed Junior (this is commonly known). But he can also be said to be "a chip off the old

C# (and .NET at large) use generational GV to great effect and there are some good writeups on the different modes you can run the GC in and its performance profiles. .NET has been generational GC since forever and you can’t swap out the GC

It certainly has. Raw chicken has noticeably gone up in price as well, and poultry is completely unavailable at some retailers. But a lot of restaurants in my area have been price gouging under the guise of “inflation, it’s out of our contr

That.. seems to just take a few (three or four) random comments that received some attention and then extrapolate an entire profile based on (incorrectly) interpreting their contents? https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ComputerGur

ZFS (or btrfs) will do that for you, no hardware RAID required. Most pro DSLRs have two SD card slots and will also do it (at the firmware level) if you toggle the appropriate option (usually the options are RAID 1 or a unionfs-like "u

The suggestion that any large-scale AI model research today isn’t ingesting output of its predecessors is laughable. Even if they didn’t directly, intentionally use o1 output (and they didn’t claim they didn’t, so far as I know), AI slo

Draining the battery from 100% to 0% in under an hour (as other commenters have mentioned) is the opposite of this, as that will necessarily dump a lot of heat.

Libra was shuttered due to feds saying “we have no legal reason to stop you but we still wish you to stop” and Zuckerberg (after some things we are not privy to) agreeing. There was a submission on this from an insider sometime in the past

As an actual FOSS developer: they didn’t open source it. But I was merely adding the missing context using the (sorry) lingua Franca of AI.

CPU-only is, very unfortunately, infeasible for reasoning models. This setup would be great for deepseek v3 or (more fittingly) the 405B llama 3.1 model, but 6-7 tokens per second on a reasoning model is 100% getting (well) into seconds-pe

They “open sourced” it enough (via the whitepaper) that huggingface is trying to reproduce their training now.

I don’t think I can use wasm with simd or syscalls, which is the bulk of my work.
